The Indians Owned Everyone On Twitter, Including Drake, After Moving On To The World Series

As someone who watches a lot of hockey — a sport where no one is allowed to have a personality or extract an ounce of joy from winning anything less than a Stanley Cup — it’s a real treat to see things like the Cleveland Indians owning the Toronto Blue Jays on social media after winning the ALCS. If a hockey player did any of this after winning a conference final, he’d probably be released by his team before the Stanley Cup Final started.

It all started four days ago, when Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista passively aggressively blamed “circumstances” for the Indians’ success in the series without actually saying what they were.

Then before the deciding Game 5 on Wednesday, Bautista told anyone who would listen that the Blue Jays weren’t worried about facing pitcher Ryan Merritt, who had never started a postseason game in his brief career.

Jose Bautista on Ryan Merritt: "With our experience in our lineup I'm pretty sure he's going to be shaking in his boots more than we are."
